Topic: Bargaining and Unilateral Offer

A store publishes an advertisement in the local newspaper stating that the first three customers on Saturday can buy a specific model of luxury watch for $100, a significant discount from its usual price of $1,000. If a customer arrives as the first on Saturday and tenders $100 for the watch, what is the legal status of the advertisement?

	A. It is a unilateral offer that becomes a contract when the customer tenders the $100.
	B. It is an invitation to negotiate, and no contract is formed until the store accepts the customer's money.
	C. It is a binding contract as soon as the advertisement is published.
	D. It is a fraudulent claim since the discount is too steep.

EXPLANATION

The advertisement specifies a clear action (being one of the first three customers on Saturday) for a specific reward (buying the watch for $100), which constitutes a unilateral offer that is accepted through performance.
